A member asked:
I'm skeptical on the success of homeopathic remedies, so i am curious if chamomile 10x, mercurius solubilis 15x, and sulphur 12x, for swimmers ear?

Be skeptical: Truly homeopathic "medications" are made by repeated dilutions, so that the ingredient is not really there anymore (just the "essence" of it remains). That means there should be no active ingredient left to cause an effect. However, that also implies that the homeopathic "medicine" should be pretty harmless, unless some other non-homeopathic ingredient (such as some other chemical) was added.
